Crawfish Boil and Early Father's Day

I've really enjoyed setting up the blog. I'm just going to have to stay up on posting stuff. Before I knew it, a week had passed since the last post. I've been, shall we say, "rebelling" against the whole Facebook thing. My family and friends keep pestering me to get one, but this blog has been a compromise :) I was so surprised the other day when I got out the tub, Silas said, "Look babe, I got a facebook page!" So my husband has succumbed to the peer pressure!

This past weekend we had a crawfish boil with our church family. It was hot, but we set up in the garage, which had a window unit.

My dad "manning" the crawfish pot. (Josh was taking a break!)

The one good thing about not eating crawfish is you get to watch the babies!!! Everyone laughed because I'm so white, and she's like 10 shades darker than I am.

Tell me that's not the cutest thing you've ever seen!

The guys were throwing the football and hit the power line, which knocked out the electricity and all of the houses on Josh and Jeanine's street! It was back running before too long.

We celebrated Father's Day with Silas' dad on Sunday. I'm very grateful to have such wonderful in laws. We always have a few gut wrenching laughs, mostly because Silas and his dad have the same sense of humor and just feed off each other. I usually end up laughing more at them than whatever their laughing at :) (Silas says their actually usually laughing at me!)

Silas and his dad cooking the steaks. Yum!

Mr. Pete opening his gift, which was 2 knee pads. He can be a little difficult to buy for :)

A little something extra:

Going through difficult seasons is tough. God's been re-teaching me to lean on Him. We can't do it on our own, though we always seem to try, don't we? I've learned you never know what people are going through or struggling with, and that maybe I need to keep my eyes open and be a little more compassionate, forgiving, and not quick to make judgments.

Fortunately, I have my family to keep me smiling. :)
